SMEs TRAnsition for a European Circular tourism Ecosystem


Acronym: TRACE

Description

Tourism has been one of the sectors most acutely and pervasively affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. This condition has had serious implications and spill-over effects on the overall economic outlook of the Union, representing tourism a sizeable proportion of EU’s GDP.

Taking into account the specific needs of the tourism industry facing the sustainability challenge, TRACE project aims to enhance and monitor the sustainability performance of SMEs in the tourism sector, boosting their awareness, development and capacity to develop and integrate sustainable innovations in their business practice, making sustainability, resilience and circularity as key factors of competitiveness in the rapidly changing global tourism market scenario. The project will address 100 European SMEs to become “champions” of sustainability and develop a dedicated sustainability plan and using a set of key indicators on sustainability and circular economy.
